Ive never said this about a recruit before but I fully expect him to win the Heisman (sophomore year, when Hill and Hilliard are gone). He could be our Adrian Peterson, and help keep LSU at elite status.

Thanks Big Ed!!! That is some crazy speed on D. LMAO-at the 3:55 mark on the tape when he gets to the edge and puts a move on the safety coming up for support. It looks like that poor kid dislocated every joint in his body below the neck trying to adjust to LF's move.

firing "stud" is a very good sign to me; Miles knows this kid is special and if nothing else he's not gonna waste him with a poorly coached line.

The play that starts at the 5:24 mark is funny. I have no idea what #34 on defense is doing and neither does he.

Miles has NEVER had a back with his skill set. Seriously. We've had a RB by committee approach because no back has seriously separated themselves. The closest were Hill and Ridley, and they both got a significant portion of the carries while they were here.

Barring injury, there's no reason he can't get 2,000 yds from scrimmage in a season. He's that good.

I started to feel bad for people who are just finding out who fournette is... But the thought if seeing all of it all at once for the first time and realizing what kind if player this is... Well that's just swell.

Devine would be in the pros if he could do what he did at 6'1 220ish

Just an fyi, this makes an average of 4.63 seconds for 40 yards. Now his first forty yards might be faster than his second 40 yards, kind of tainting the results, but there it is.

He does look faster than a 4.6 guy, but those are the numbers.

I've just really begun to look at his highlights, but it seems like on every touchdown he slows down before he hits the goal line. Obviously, he knows he's getting in but it looks like he does it even if there is a defender right near him. Serious question, is this something a coach would look at and try to change?

I'm sure the coaches have experience with this, but I can't recall seeing a guy do that as consistently as he does. Just wondering if the coaches are going to pull him in on the first day and say, "OK, you're not dealing with high school defenses anymore..." With that being said, the dude is just incredible. A true man among boys.

I'm just glad the guy didn't post his mile time...you'd have him at a 9.6 forty!

Just to blast your dumbass post a little more,

A meter is 1.093 yards.

That means he ran 109.3 yards in 10.6.

Divide 10.6 by 109.3. Now multiply it by 40.

HERE IT IS FOLKS...HE RUNS A 3.879 forty 1111!!!!

Yea, a 10.6 is cooking. Those types of guys tend to run high 4.3 or about a 4.4 flat.

This guy is insane good and the highlight tape is ridiculous, but it doesn't even touch Noel Devine's HS highlight reel.

With that being said Fournette has a million more potential and talent than devine.



Good Lord, I'd forgotten all about Noel Devine until now. Dude had an epic HS reel. Big pile of people, then some little fast dude breaks free and no one catches him.

Wondered what happened.

Up playing for the Montreal Allouettes getting caught from behind and getting balls knocked loose into the endzone for a touchback or whatever they call it up there.


And yeah, much bigger, better runner. Fournette makes Devine look like a kid.
